HelixOS is a secured flavor of Android.
We've been working on it for 4.5 years, and now we've decided to open source it completely!
I think it might be interesting for you guys too, so I decided to let you know in this forum as well,

Well Fosser2 and his gang have finally hashed out a GIT with the source for the 3.1 kernel they are compiling. It is to my displeasure that NVIDIA requests are a complete failure, but because of this amazing open source comunity that we have with Android we are still able to bring our devices around to match that of what we desire out of our tablets. Thank you to their valiant efforts in creating a better user environment and we tip our hats to them. Please be sure to give them a thanks and buy them a beer. Here is the GIT
GIT Source from Fosser2
Old Info -
Directly quoted from Fosser2. I have been checking daily to see when the forums would come back up, and it looks like they have. Please get your petitions over there to get the sources so our g-tabs can be 100% functional (Well as close as you can) =]
Hey guys,
I know you all want the camera working but NVIDIA is really holding back on the information that they are releasing. As you know Notion Ink and the developers who have been working with the Adam tablet have really helped this project along. NI is asking people to post in My Post on the NVIDIA Forums to see if we can get the camera source code and information on the interface the camera runs on. Please take the time to read this Post and register and complain in the NVIDIA forums about the camera. Please try to make your posts sound professional, but we're gonna need some support behind this one if we have any hope on getting the camera active again. Even if NI gets the camera sources and we don't, I'm sure that the work that they finish will be able to be ported to our camera with minimal efforts. Thanks for your time!
You can find my topic over here
please register and keep this post on the top. The more traffic we get there the sooner we will hear back from them.

I see a couple of people who have posted and I thank you all for the help, lets try and keep the forum as the top hit list so MODs will see it and hopefully get a response. If they refuse we will threaten with the better business bureau and I am sure they will listen then.
I know its a pain to have to create another user account, but please the more people they see posting on the nvidia forums the higher chance we have of getting the sources released to the public. Imagine the possibility of the device without poking around blindly at the kernel, but having a complete map available.
I just registered and posted. I really hope someone notices how important this is to us.
Cheveron just said in the Dirty Bean forum on Slatedroid that the camera is already fixed.
This is more than just the Camera though. The Devs are poking blindly without source. The fact they got it working is a miracle, we would rather have the hard solid evidence to make sure we get the most out of the devices with the source from Nvidia.
We tried very hard the first time. They just arent willing to help out. With a middle finger in the air I think all devs who have contibuted their time can walk the streets proud of their accomlishments. Thanks for the hardware Nvidia...screw you for the support.
We don't need anything from NVIDIA; apparently dwagner already got the camera working (for the most part). This is what Ch3vr0n5 said over on Slatedroid. So it's coming, just be patient.
In the future you should consider boycotting NVIDIA; go with Qualcomm or Samsung. They are far more receptive to the community than NVIDIA and will have much better longevity than any NVIDIA products. Yes, the Nexus 7 uses a Tegra III but that doesn't mean much since NVIDIA still doesn't share source with the community. Eventually even the Nexus 7 owners will have a G-Tablet like situation on their hands.
Yes we did get the camera working w/ our own set of code. Not sure when its going to be fully available to the public. Hopefully sooner than later though!
You guys are amazing. Does that mean once you work out the kinks in theory the tab should be 100% functioning?

I wish you luck getting the camera working through your petitions, but this thread needs to be in General so I am moving it now.
Thank you,

Here is the camera source. We're in the middle of porting it to our 3.1 kernel right now.

Hey everyone! Just a quick question regarding a cool ROM I found for my Nexus. It's called CodeFireX.
Basically, it aims to be super fast, insanely so in some regards.
Nexus 4 thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014430
My question is:
If I were to try to build this from source, is there a chance that I could get it working for the Infuse? I really enjoy it on my Nexus, and I think that I'd enjoy it on my Infuse as well.
Connor Baker
P.S I am a noob when it comes to compiling from source. So far, all I've managed to do is compile the Nexus 4 kernel from source. I'd imagine doing this with a ROM would be quite difficult But, I am very interested in learning to develop.
It does look really neat, and the source is there.
I'll be glad to help you out on getting this running. See if you can get the source synced.
Probably not going to be able to get this out until much later in the year, due to me only getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night on weekdays, and doing homework and studying for classes on the weekends. Thanks college level courses. Thank you for making me want to skip school, and making my life miserable.
However, that is probably a good thing that I won't be able to get it out until later, because the CodeFireX team are facing some issues in regard to Superuser, and Open Master generally being buggy. I hope I have time to work on it before summer though. Thanks for your offer Andros I'll probably PM later today about what distro I should use to build.
Mods, feel free to close the thread if you wish.

Seeing as I've retired my Infuse now that I have the N4 I would be more than willing to test this if you do start building it.

Hello People,
I read a thread which started a petition to get XDA -Dev users to test the Ubuntu Touch OS on the HOS. I recently checked the petition again and saw that it was only 250 submissions short. i dont know about you guys, but I would really enjoy using and of course testing and reporting the Ubuntu Touch OS. This is why I ask you guys to sign this, if you also want to see Ubuntu Touch to get to the HTC One S.

To the Mods, If i really need to remove the link, because i am still under the required posts, I will. I just wanted to get this petition out there again
if i find the original thread I will link it, or if someone else finds it.

In my experience; trying to force developers to do something just because you want it done never works. I know that is probably not how you meant the petition to look but in my mind it looks more like "See, here is the number of people that want this. Now make it happen" instead of "Hey, there are a bunch of people on this list that would love if you could make this, but it's completely up to you.":silly:
Well i didnt start the petition and its not specifically for the HOS but rather a petition so the XDA users, who generally have more knowledge about OSs and ROMs than the average consumer, can test the OS and report bugs etc. This in return, should help Ubuntu Touch to be as bug free as possible from release on. I do get your point, i just think its not like forcing a single dev to make something, as it is The Ubuntu Team working on the OS, additionally the Ubuntu Team would get a huge community base to test their operating system, and report bugs they find.
Kogadin
I frequent the Dev section and basically so far many devs want to build Ubuntu for the HOS, however it just isn't that easy. The lack of ROM hasn't been the result of a lack of trying.
Somebody's out there trying man http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206904 just be patient and have faith.. I've seen youtube videos of it running on the One X so hopefully it will be running on our devices in the near future.. What these devs have is a talent. I wish I could do what they do...
Found that thread after I wrote this one. I was really excited. And I really hope that the developers will succeed in porting ubuntu to our awesome phone

It would be nice to have this os to test but to be honest I'm not a fan and don't think its a great product. I'm sticking to android but good luck

Hello Friends,
HelixOS is a secured flavor of Android.
We've been working on it for 4.5 years, and now we've decided to open source it completely!
I think it might be interesting to anyone into Android security, so I decided to let you guys know in this forum,

Wow!! That's a great leap.

STATUS: I'll be honest, I give up. Mods if you see this, remove the thread. This is hard guys. It has been hard. I have been pulling a lot of late nights, I have switched bases and tried so many fixes and Sailfish OS 2.1 on grouper just refuses to boot. We still have 1.0 and I know that it sucks on tablets but honestly, sailfish OS porters deserve so much more respect. This is hard. Building android honey comb or oreo would have been easier than this. For anyone who wants to give it a shot I won't even post sources, I never really had to change them in a way that made any progress. Not to mention the default fixup-mountpoints match the device's perfectly fine and modifying them did nothing.
I sincerely wish whoever takes this project up a good luck, and for everyone else, I recommend selling your tablet and either saving up for/buying a 2013 Nexus 7 or better yet, a Youyota tablet like me. I'm really sorry for just giving up like this and I feel just as bad as you, but I can't make this clear enough, this **** is hard.
Any updates?
